I would love if we could use LibreOffice, but our application just doesn't work with it and our devs won't even look at it.
Isn't installing libreoffice in a corporate environment against the TOS?
Actually no, from what I understand. You can install it, just most businesses don't allow it because they offer no support for it. There are other companies that partner with LibreOffice to offer enterprise solutions though.
